Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has described an alleged terror plot against Peter Dutton as “incredibly concerning” and says such threats must not become the new normal in Australian politics.

This comes after a 16-year-old was charged after allegedly preparing to launch a terror attack with homemade bomb ingredients on Dutton at his residence in Queensland.
